Escort headlights

Hi all

Any suggestions as to why the headlight have stopped working on my 98 escort van? I've checked the fuses, relay and lamps

forgot to turn them on?

Seriously, though, maybe a wire from the switch has come off, if both have stopped at the same time?

are the relays working tho?those fuseboards had a habit of melting down also water gets in behind and corroding the contacts

dash lights haven't been playing up too have they? more than likely the switch quite common on them.

I had both my lights fail at the same time, one bulb went and the surge took out the other one!

Blooming annoying when 30 miles from home.

No no! it's lights are out, it is clinically dead, therefore good materieal for a transplant
